Posted on September 12, 2012

Remember the day you saved a life? If you are like the folks here at ALDF, you have rescued a nonhuman animal or two (or three, or five) in your day, and you know how important adopters, shelters, rescues, and sanctuaries are to saving animals’ lives. Have you adopted a marvelous mutt, a fabulous feline, or a radical rabbit? Tell the world about it!

Get out those Santa hats! Submit a holiday-themed glamour shot of your rescued animal to ALDF’s Rescue Tails Photo Contest! If you win, your photo will be featured on our 2012 holiday card (online and snail mail versions!) and proudly touted on our website and social networks.
